57-36 Van Doren Street, Queens, NY 11368

The 5-unit, 3-story residential building at 57-36 Van Doren Street in Corona, owned by Shaoyin Guo and constructed in 1989, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in early 2024, there were multiple emergency safety concerns including problems with window guards, carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and fire escape safety.

The building has also faced persistent plumbing issues, with documented water leaks in both 2023 and 2024, along with heating system complaints, including a January 2024 incident involving hot water. Apartment 3A has been particularly problematic, with documented violations including roof leaks, plumbing issues, and pest infestations. The property has undergone several inspections and received multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations throughout 2024, including issues with building security systems (broken glass pane and locking assembly at front entrance), encumbrances in public hall areas, and the need for proper carbon monoxide detector notice posting.

However, it's worth noting that the building has maintained a zero-record for bedbug infestations in recent years, with the most recent reports from 2023-2025 showing no affected units. A rodent inspection in 2012 resulted in a passing grade, though this information is now quite dated. While many violations have been certified as corrected, the frequency and variety of maintenance issues suggest ongoing challenges in building upkeep, particularly regarding plumbing and safety systems.
